Facing heat from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) over Union Home Minister Amit Shah using the word ‘Gorkhaland’, West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Monday said that his party is not in favour of a separate Gorkhaland state and wants a permanent political solution in the Darjeeling hills.

Speaking to reporters here, Ghosh said, “We have never said we want Gorkhaland. We want a permanent political solution to the problem in the Hills so that development can begin there. We have said this before and we are repeating it today,” Ghosh said, adding that the party won the Darjeeling Lok Sabha seat “with a huge margin and under very tough circumstances” in the recent parliamentary elections.
